Back From the Dusty Crypt...

Soon we shall be kicking-off another season of silent cinema lectures. Here's the flyer for this spring, and I've added a new link to an interesting silent-horror blog in the link area.

Presenting: Poverty Horrors...the blog!

As an offshoot to this blog, which focuses on our class activity in the silent cinema region, I'm starting up a "cousin" blog for those of you that want more monster education! You can find it here...I hope you'll follow, as I'll not only inform you about obscure monster-themed films of the old days, but I'll show you how to collect them on the cheap as well!

Conrad Veidt!

Here's something worth picking up for all you Conrad Veidt fans!

Here.

Over and out for awhile at least...

Well, the class finished out really well. I was very pleased with the essays and I learned so much from reading them. You may pick those, as well as your tests, upon my return to the dept. on the 4th. I'm going to keep this blog going, so even though class is no more, at least for now, you can return here to chat, check on updated monster gear that's out there and more.

Have a great break everyone! Thanks once again.

Finals Graded

I have finished grading all of the final tests. Those grades are recorded, and may picked-up at your convenience. I can tell that the majority of you have retained a lot of this material, and that makes me happy. I have not finished with the essay papers yet. That will be a few days still, but I will post on here when they are ready to pick up.

Great job...I've really enjoyed having you guys in that class...I think it went really well, and I hope you'll always love these films as much as I do!

MOVIE FINDS FOR FREE

Since several questions concerning free finds of some of the films we've watched in class has been queried:

At wikipedia, Cameron says he found links to download for free both "Haxen" and "Nosferatu". Note: download, not just watch!

Also check the links over to the right. I've posted several places that offer free public domain films for download.

Work hard on your papers and be ready for class and the test tomorrow!

CLASS SCHEDULE UPDATED

On the right of this page you will find the updated class schedule. I've had to move the final to week in advance because of conflicts with other finals given. We will cover "Dracula" before the holiday, then when we return our final section is on "Frankenstein". The final class you will turn in your paper and take the final exam.

That technically leaves another week, but we'll use that week instead for you to recover you paper and discuss anything we me outside of class that you so desire.
